LOUISVILLE, Sept. 30-The acceptance of the
Republican nomination for Mayor Of Louisville
by Mr.. Samuel l.. Avery, which was announced
to-day, gives a very interesting turn to munich
pal matters here. Tho candidates already in the
field were Judge w. b. Hoke and Hon. Charles
ID. Jacob, ex- Minister of the United States of
Colombia. Messrs Hoke and Jacob are both
Democrats. but the latter has declared positively
that he will not go into q convention If the
Democrats, therefore nominate man IN oppo-
candidates in the field, with predicting what
the res ult my be. Mr.. Avery is leading bust
laboring classes. He rejected the petition OF a
large mum Der of citizens, recently, to run indie
pendently. The election takes place in Deem
Der, and the drawing of party lines for the first
time will most probably make the contest a most
bitter one.
